Procter and Hellrazor Reset Bridge to Bridge Record



The Sydney Bridge to Bridge is the most prestigious and longest running ski race in the Southern Hemisphere, running 112 Km from the mouth of the Hawkesbury River up to Windsor, Western Sydney. This year not only marked the 50th anniversary of the great race, though also marked Mary Macmillan's 50th consecutive race run also a huge accomplishment which may never be matched.

Wing Wetsuits ski racer, Peter Procter added yet another huge title to his name taking out the 201this years race, backing up his 2010 victory. Pete was skiing alongside Daniel Campbell behind Mark Cranny and Damien Mathews in Hellrazor, a combination who smashed the longstanding record of 38.57.53 set in 2005 by Stinga.

All competitors this year came together to not only celebrate the victories on the water, though to also pay respect and commemorate Stephen Robertson who tragically passed away in the week leading to the event. 100 red balloons were released as Chris Stout skiing one up behind Noel Griffin's boat, Burnin, crossed the line. The bank was filled with the unlimited teams cheering in memory of a greatly respected man.
